This example visualizes country populations as horizontal bars sorted by size, using population data from a CSV file. The bar chart renders in SVG and demonstrates customized axes: the y-axis uses a band scale with tight padding, while the x-axis is omitted from the final output. The code imports specific D3 v5 APIs including `scaleLinear`, `scaleBand`, `axisLeft`, `axisBottom`, and `format` to handle scaling and tick formatting, with margins and transforms positioning the visualization. Labels and ticks are styled via external CSS.
